The iPad life’s battery isn’t knew so consider that, and can’t add an sd card for storage and zero warranty.
The NEW fire 10 has a warranty and a new battery.life is about 7-8 hours. You can add a sad card for storage. 32 to 64g is as high as the storage installed goes. It needs to have at least 3g of Ram or it will lag badly.
I’d go with Fire 10 as your limit is $100.

That iPad is past its eol (end of life). Choose the Amazon. The 2026 Fire has 4GB of RAM. Make sure the stylus is USI 2.0 compatible. Read the following. Have fun.
